AUGUST Benedicto guns for another crown as the Unilab Active Health’s Tri United series returns to Playa Laiya in San Juan, Batangas, with the staging of Tri United 2 tomorrow.
Benedicto, last year’s series champ, spearheads a strong field in the 2K-swim, 60K-bike and 15K-run event organized by Bike King.
Expected to challenge Benedicto for top honors are elite competitors John Chicano, Mark Hosana, Benjamin Rana, Deo Timbol and Jonard Saim, who saw action in the Southeast Asian Games in Singapore last month.
Also competing is Tri United 3 champion Anna Stroh, who is the lone entry in the women’s side.
